Several South American gang members have finally been taken down by cops, accused of allegedly using a creepy delivery tactic to break into people’s homes in Los Angeles.

Following a string of residential burglaries in LA, seven criminal gang members — including four Colombian nationals are accused of robbing unsuspecting homeowners across LA by pretending to work for delivery services.

Police said the suspected burglars used items from delivery companies like Amazon, DoorDash and UberEats to gain access to people’s homes.

LA District Attorney Nathan Hochman pointed out some of the items police said were used including a red DoorDash bag, along with tools to break into people’s homes once they found no one was there, during a press conference on Wednesday.

“Because what we have seen and one of the techniques used often by these particular individuals, is that they’ll show up with a DoorDash bag,” Hochman said.

“And by the way, it doesn’t have to be DoorDash. It can be UberEats, it can be any type of delivery, an Amazon delivery.”

“And they’re getting these fake identification. They show up at the ring camera. They’ll push the doorbell or ring camera and they’ll say they’re from DoorDash.”

“They’re trying to check to see if there’s any one home, because very often they’re going to target the houses in which no one’s there,” Hochman added.

Cops said the gang members would arrive at these homes “prepared and ready for any type of situation.”

That included whether they were able to find an open door or window to get into on either the first or second floor.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna presented hidden cameras made to look like greenery and “a jammer”, which is a device “suspects carry to jam your camera system and other wi-fi devices connected to the cloud,” Luna said.

During the investigation, detectives recovered US currency, jewelry, a luxury handbag, a Wi-Fi jamming device, gloves and other burglary tools.

Those arrested include Chilean national Kevin Diaz, Owen Rivera Chacon, Christopher Sanchez, and Edison Bioka. Each are facing a variety of charges related to the alleged break-ins.

Hochman sent a message to other South American gang members who want to come here and commit crimes.

“If you want to come here and break into our houses, if you want to come in here and scare and traumatize our families, let me assure you where you will spend some time in our jails and our prisons,”  Hochman said.

“Because you will get arrested, prosecuted and punished.”
